I can't find where to enable scale mode anywhere. I see no "Pinco's UI" tab or option anywhere in the user interface. I just downloaded the client this morning, unzipped, & installed. I haven't used it in... I cant remember how many years. Wanted to look at the latest version out of curiosity and the option to shrink the gumps/paperdolls/maps/etc,... would help alot. Thanks in advancePinco said:Q: The interface is too bulky, what can I do?
A: There are 2 ways to fix this problem:
1) User Interface -> Options -> UI Scale
Changing the UI scale will shrink the entire interface.
!!! BE CAREFUL !!! a low scale could create some problems with certain gump's text!
2) User Interface -> Pinco's UI -> Enable scale mode
When enabled you can use the mouse wheel to shrink almost every window/gump.
Remember to disable it in order to create a mess while playing
that is something between the client and windows... try to give full control rights in the user data folder, maybe that's the problem... also keep an eye if the folders for global/player variables gets created when you log out (in case they get deleted when you login...)
there is no option in the user settings, you must use the action for the scale mode... also the pinco's ui tab is gone for ages, the options are all inside the related categories nowCan someone please tell me where the option to enable scale mode is located?
I found this :

I figured it was gone since the date on the posts but it was the only info I could find on scale mode so...there is no option in the user settings, you must use the action for the scale mode... also the pinco's ui tab is gone for ages, the options are all inside the related categories now [bcolor=rgb(204, 205, 205)]
. Thanks so much for the help good Sir
for some reason the wait for target is broken (can't fix that since it's inside the client), so you may try to add a target current at the end, also use the bandages item and not bandage target...
Looks like this ...
the fly button is part of the mount/dismount system, just assign a button to it from user settings or from the mounts list
I am trying to set the permission but I guess I dunno how to do, when i right click and look at the settings for user data in the My Docs it shows the box checked for read only. I have changed that numerous times and everything I do and then open it again, it says again read only, and yes I push the buttons for apply and save.that is something between the client and windows... try to give full control rights in the user data folder, maybe that's the problem... also keep an eye if the folders for global/player variables gets created when you log out (in case they get deleted when you login...)
readonly has nothing to do with the rights... for the rights you must right click the folder -> properties -> security -> modify -> add -> type "everyone" -> ok -> select "Everyone" -> click allow on full control -> OK -> OK
Did that to the user file in the EA Games documents folder and the entire Documents/EAGames/UltimaOnlineStygianAbyss is also set to everyone having all rights except special permissions which I have no idea why or how to do, still the same,readonly has nothing to do with the rights... for the rights you must right click the folder -> properties -> security -> modify -> add -> type "everyone" -> ok -> select "Everyone" -> click allow on full control -> OK -> OK
the other stuff is saved in the profile, this is saved in other files that the client seems to be too dumb to keep
I don't want a button assigned to it... I do not want to attempt to remember wtf button I assigned to something I like having it on my desktop... right there at the top... If I wanted to remember a crap ton of buttons I wouldn't have 12 hotbars on my screen. My memory is not that great... Having it on my desktop is important.the fly button is part of the mount/dismount system, just assign a button to it from user settings or from the mounts list
spells and skills that requires target CAN be added multiple times, if you find some skill that can't do that let me know (other than peacemaking)...
it should be long enough now
that's how the quivers works, if you don't like it you should speak to whoever designed them that way because it's not an UI problem
if the title is visible in the healthbar, it shouldn't be a problem... check neira if you can, in the meantime I've added the version without title too to the boss list, so you can see if it works
The folders you have to make sure stays are: GlobalVariables and PlayerVariables_<shard name>_<character id>, the one called "PlayerVariables" only is useless.
yeah I know, I used to do the same, but if you check, the problem exist on default too, so they must have done something inside the client or server to add this new "feature" so the users can waste more time dragging and dropping stuff (like if the 1s between each action wasn't enough)
I will poke @Kyronix about it then as it is obviously a very annoying bug that needs squishing.yeah I know, I used to do the same, but if you check, the problem exist on default too, so they must have done something inside the client or server to add this new "feature" so the users can waste more time dragging and dropping stuff (like if the 1s between each action wasn't enough)
All the variables files go away instantly upon opening the Pinco UI, not just one. Is it possible my playsound file is corrupted, any way to reinstall just it?it should be long enough now

about those animals, they don't show in the dropdown list because I don't have the taming requirement, without that they are not considered tamable, and since getting that value requires a full account I can't do it for now

about the hotkey, those should work now
to be sure you could try to uninstall the game and delete the game folder and start over from there... try also to backup user data and let the game to create a new one and see what happens
I use grid view and carry 4 quivers in my pack normally and I just drag piles of arrows to add to the amount in the quiver over the grid and drop them, works fine. I don't open the quiver, just drop odd amounts on the grid quiver pic in your backpack. You can't add more than the quiver allows tho. You can see how many are in it just with cursor over.
Glad you got your quivers on the road to being fixed, I'm still lost in the neverneverland of all my variables disappearing at every login and not saving my finders keepers and this is one of the most important things of the UI. It must be just me, no one else is complaining and I have looked and checked and deleted and changed every item that I possibly thought might cause it. I'm at wit's end.
So you don't have another character named the same thing on that shard/account do you?
It's everytime I log into Pinco's UI on all characters on all accounts, it deletes all the variables files, I have the file explorer open and watch them all disappear the minute I hit the button to open the game on the UI gump.
So you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Pinco's and everything?
I've reinstalled it, that was the first thing I did but that didn't work.
Modifications are stored in the User Data folder in your Documents.
I will do this, thanks. I have only one nagging thought in my mind - my laptop does exactly the same thing, how would it get the same glitch as my desktop? It seems that the only common files is the user data and if they contain the culprit file deleter and I recopy those into the new UI, then ...............
it should work nowThe switch object handle action is borked. I select corpse, but I'm getting player bars
the rate should work now
there is no flag for that, just make sure you're not pressing ctrl or alt or shift and that you don't have the item with you (it only works for containers that you don't have inside your backpack).I just realized on some of my characters I cannot loot from any bag via right-click, but others I can. I know you used to have this as a toggle option in the Actions menu, but I believe you removed it and made it always enabled? Is there a flag I can set in the settings file for the characters that cannot loot via right-click, or is re-creating the profile the only way? I'd prefer not to have to recreate that many profiles if possible
To add to what @whitesmith said, if you are using old profiles created prior to the recent updates, I would suggest renaming the User Data folder and letting it recreate itself with blank profiles. A lot has changed and I know personally I had to recreate my profiles to fix some issues caused by changes to the UI.Forgive Me @Pinco .... But I need to ask Pinco's Users for information...
I was a regular user of Pinco's UI for nearly 8 months or so, after I returned to UO after being gone for many, many Years. (Pre-Enhanced Client introduction, so was always a Classic User)
When I came back, I decided if I needed to re-learn everything, I might as well do it in EC & also downloaded Pinco's mod as well.
I LOVED Pinco's UI, until about November 2017.... I started to find every-time I logged in with it, it was like 1 step forward, 3 steps back with each update.
Maybe it was just Me... I dunno....
But in the New Year, I finally gave up logging in with Pinco's & went back to logging in using the "regular EC client".
I have been "problem free" since then
BUT..... I still MISS so many awesome features of @Pinco amazing mod....
Sooooo... Has anyone else who was experiencing issues a few months ago, been able to resolve the issues with Pinco's UI today?
I still miss so many features of Pinco's UI....
I hope some folks will provide some feedback & I will download it once again...
@Khyro Could you please explain exactly what I need to do to purge myself of old data? Should I just delete my current char profiles & just start again? That seems like a massive task....
It's pretty massive yes, which is why I suggest renaming the folder and testing. If it works better on new profiles, then you know it's something in your old profile. If you still have the same issues on new profiles, then the problem is elsewhere and you can restore your profiles.
Thanks for your detailed explanation @Khyro . I have decided to give it a go & have done step 1 in your explanation.
The PlayerVariableMods folder is unique to Pinco's, so if you just have an EC install and not Pinco's, then you won't have to worry about that folder.
this may happen if there is no value in the chat message, check if you have a number there and if it does the same with any other quest
You MUST open the game with EC Playsound, that is mandatory or it will never work
Then how do I get your updates? If I open game with ECPlaysound.exe It takes you directly to the game without checking for updates to your UI doesn't it? Playsound always opens and puts a small icon in the start bar when I open the game with the file UIPatcher.exe - isn't this what I'm supposed to open the game with?this may happen if there is no value in the chat message, check if you have a number there and if it does the same with any other quest
